Using the Actions Menu
Additional circulation commands are available from the Actions menu(s). These menus appears
throughout the Circulation window. You can either select a command directly from these menus or use
the hot-keys (located in the right-hand column of the Actions menu) to execute commands.
Some of the commands in these menus require a current patron or current item. For example, you must
have a current item to select Copy Status.
The Actions menu(s) show available commands in bold text. For example, if the current patron does not
have any reserves, the Remove Patron Holds and Remove Patron Reservations selections are grayedout in the menu and therefore, non-selectable.
The following commands are available in the Actions menu:
Start Bookdrop (Cmnd/Ctrl+1)—Sets the current mode to Bookdrop. In Bookdrop mode,
you enter barcodes for items you want to check in. This option will toggle between Start Bookdrop and Start Check In/Out mode.
